My sincerest condolences on the passing of Auntie Barbara. She has been a loyal friend to both my Mom and Dad for over 70 years (!), a lady who I will always remember as a Fierce Mama Bear. I felt her protective love towards me too. I have so many fond memories of loving times together with all our families. Our parents were role models to me on how to develop and hold life long friendships, and how that feels like family too. Sending Carolyn and Barry extra hugs-hold your loved ones close this holiday season. May her memory be a blessing to you all.

It was a beautiful service. I got to know more about your mom. Your mom was obviously a very beautiful woman with a very beautiful soul. She definitely led a life well lived which was a blessing to all she loved, including the critters, May her memory be for blessing

My aunt Barbara, my father’s sister. I have incredible memories of spending time at her home in Skokie. A warm, wonderful woman with a strong sense of family and great love. May her memory be a blessing.

The first time that Shomi took me to meet you and Fred and we went out to Cafe Continental for drinks. I was awed by your beautiful face and big dark eyes and thrilled to have a sister I could love.
